Dr. DeAndra Jones is an Arkansas native, which is where she discovered her desire to help people at an early age. Dentistry became a strong interest for her during the early years of high school.

Since then, Dr. DeAndra has dedicated her life to acquiring dental access in rural communities such as her hometown.

Dr. Jones went on to graduate Cum Laude from Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology in the spring of 2015 and entered Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston, Massachusetts, the following fall. Dr. DeAndra graduated from Tufts in May of 2019 and went on to receive her Advanced Education in Pediatric Dentistry certificate in the summer of 2021 from NYU Langone Dental Medicine Postdoctoral Residency Program at the Springfield, Missouri, training site.

Dr. DeAndra Jones has a passion for helping others achieve their life goals and overcome challenges. One way she fulfilled this passion is by creating a nonprofit organization called Growth Garden which aims to expose minority high school youth to careers in the STEM field. Dr. Jones has two gorgeous cats named Oliver and Kovu. She enjoys baking, traveling, and gardening. Dr. DeAndra looks forward to treating your child with love and fun!
